CLEANING THE TAPE HEADS
To prevent fire or shock hazard,
disconnect your stereo system from the
AC power plug when cleaning.
After using the unit, turn off the power by pressing the
POWER button.
When the tape is running, magnetic tape residue,
powder and dust naturally accumulate on the tape deck
heads, capstan and pinch rollers. When they become
too dirty, you will find:
Sound quality deteriorates.
The output sound level drops.
The previous recording is not completely erased.
Recording is not performed satisfactorily.
Therefore, for continued high performance from the
cassette section, periodically clean the heads,
pinch rollers and capstan whenever an
accumulation of dust and red-brown oxide particles
are noticed. To do this open the cassette
compartment. Carefully rub the heads (4,5), pinch
rollers (3) and capstan (2) with a cotton swab (1)
moistened with isopropyl alcohol or special head-
cleaning fluid.
Use a clean soft cloth moistened with plain lukewarm
water and wrung dry. Never use benzol, benzene or
other strong chemical cleaners since these could
damage the finish or your unit. It is important that no
liquid reaches the inside of the unit.

Screwdrivers and other metal objects should

will scratch the sensitive surface causing
damage to your tapes.
Magnets or magnetized objects should not be
placed near tape heads.
Although the music tracks in the disc are covered
with a protective layer, it is still advisable to treat
the disc carefully. Ensure that you always pick up
discs by the edge, and put them back in their
holders immediately after use.
